Note: On 12 August 2010, the Football Federation of Ukraine punished Metalist Kharkiv and Karpaty Lviv for fixing a match in 2008; both teams were handed a fine and deducted nine points each.[26] The FFU then released a statement on 19 October 2010 that the point deductions will be applied for the 2011–12 season.[27] However, Karpaty Lviv have indicated that they will take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport at Lausanne;[27] the table will hence not include the deductions until a final verdict has been made.
